Yearick finished her collegiate career as the third winningest pitcher in WPU history with 34 wins on the mound.

Yearick also ranked third in strikeouts (350), third in innings pitched and third in lowest career earned run average (2.94).

Being named to this distinguished list is just another in the long line of accolades for the former Husky hurler. Yearick was a USA South All-Conference Honorable Mention player in 2010, named the top defensive player on the team in two of her four seasons and was also elected as a captain in both her junior and senior campaigns.

Most of all, Yearick was a star in the classroom as well, finishing as an academic all-conference selection in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and an Academic All-American in 2012 and 2013. Yearick was named the 2013 Most Outstanding Graduate at WPU. She was one of 10 graduates nominated for that award.

Currently, Yearick is a teacher at Fuquay-Varina High School in Wake County.
